Am I missing something? Where are the directions on how to get there? Thank you
There is a Google map near the bottom of the page that shows where the trailhead starts. The trail is located near the Maroon Bells Scenic Area. In the summer it can be accessed via bus (https://www.aspensnowmass.com/plan-your-stay/maroon-bells/getting-here). In winter, the road (Maroon Creek Road – https://www.aspentrailfinder.com/maroon-creek-road/) is closed to cars, but the Maroon Bells Scenic Area can still be visited.
